What should have been a nice outing, turns into a deadly disaster!

Hey blogger, I thought I would take this time to rant on the school shooting that took place at the midnight opening of Batman in Aurora, CO. This won't really include any new light on the topic, though I must say that I saw a tweet about this on twitter this morning while on the road (gotta love the apps that androids have), and I did not know just what was going on. Mom then talks to my brother and she said he had been watching CNN, so me being curious, I asked what was going on, she said something about the batman opening at midnight and how this lunatic went on a shooting rampage.  Anyways........moving on, this kid James Holmes was only 24 years old, hails from San Diego, and was a ph.D candidate that has now thrown his life away because of a very sick deed. According to one article this is the worst mass shooting in over five years.  James Holmes (the gunman) purchased 4 guns at local gun shops and then over 6000 rounds of ammunition int he past two months. How the hell he got that much money, I have not the slightest idea, I mean I don't have that kind of money, and right now there are not too many jobs that someone that young can work that would afford them that much explosives, so I'm curious as to where the hell he got that much money? Not that it matters, regardless of how money source, it was a vile, sick, cruel, sadistic act of violence and he fucked his life up as a result. There were 12 people killed, according to what I'm reading, and there is a total of 70 injured. I'm even reading post on twitter on from CNN on victims who were attempting to shield their children. Looking at this picture and a few select videos, this guy appears to come from a middle-class family, with parents who appeared to do their best, but yet he does this shit. I really would not care if he gets the death penalty, in fact I'd be happy to watch, and executions are nothing that I desire to see. Anyway, whatever happens to him, he fucked his life up. I mean, damn yall, working on your doctorate at 24 and you throw it all away with this! And for what? What pleasure could you have gotten out of it? Then he set's traps at his home for when the police come. Okay, I'm out, I realize this was not the best written blog, but damn it, I'm at a loss for words at this moment.

A realization that I may not have children

Lately, I've really been rethinking my desire for parenthood. In one blog, I wrote about the recession frustrations, and to be honest with you, with the way the economy is right now, I just don't see myself bringing a child into the world. For one reason, I've busted my ass for seven years and have not landed a full-time gig, so when I do finally get that, I don't think I want to blow it off on the expenses of parenthood (I've got enough burdens w/o parenthood). Also people are losing jobs left and right and that includes individuals with a mortgage and a family relying on them. When I look at that, I think to myself "is this really what I want to bring a child into?" Now about five or six years ago I would not have said this. In fact, five or six years ago, I had no doubt that I would have been a dad, but these past two years has really made me rethink that. With the lack of jobs, the ever so increasing prices of things despite the sucky job market, I think "why the hell would I want to screw a child up like that?".  I was talking with a colleague of mine whom I met in college, he was telling me how he remembers the days that he could walk into McDonalds and have a job on the spot, but now he can't even do that! Why don't you take a look at the Job Blues..... series of videos that I have posted up, and you might hear a bit more of where I'm coming from.  I go a bit more into detail [about what I've posted in my "Recession Frustrations" blog] and talk about specific situations. Leave me some input!
